They were an Australian rock band formed in 2001 who decided to part ways earlier last year. Brothers Nic and Chris Cester, influenced by musical favourites such as AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Beatles, decided to start a band being just three members away of having what they had wish for.

The popular song ‘Are you gonna be my girl’, is probably one of their most trendy and succesful singles, featured in many shows, video games and campaigns. They were once nominated for seven categories from which they received the stunning number of six awards.

On March 2012, they announced their separation with the following message:

“A Message To Our Fans: After many successful years of writing, recording and touring we wish to announce our discontinuation as a group. From the many pubs, theatres, stadiums and festivals all across the world it was the fans that made our amazing story possible and we wish to thank them all. Thank you, and goodnight.”

She released her debut studio album called ‘Heaven’ on 2011, featuring genres such as soul, blues, pop and R&B. Its success was so immediate, that she’s even been compared to her biggest influence, ‘Queen of Soul’, Aretha Franklin…

American singer-songwriter from Tennessee Drew Holcomb and his band The Neighbours, have been playing together since 2005. His wife, Ellie Bannister Holcomb, also plays alongside him in the band and helps with the singing and songwriting. Together, they bring a succesful result, which keeps gaining more and more following over the years.

Their upcoming and sixth album ‘Good Light’, set for its release later this month, is the outcome of a new stage on Drew’s life. While the past albums were written with the help of others, this one is mostly Drew’s thoughts and personal experience, throughout which he “explores the universal need to find meaning and joy in the midst of heartbreak and disappointment”.

“With this album I’m telling my story, in the hope that it helps other people tell theirs…”
